Let me start out by saying this was working yesterday. I have been using SW in a vm for about 2 weeks now. This morning the vm decided to have some issues when I attempted to move it to a new location. I got it all back up and running, but not cannot access through my firewall. The IP address did not change and I can access from inside my sonicwall just fine, but the firewall seems to be blocking for some reason. All it will tell me in the logs is a TCP handshake violation detected. The sor=urce and destination entries on the log error show to be correct, but still cannot connect. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried clearing the arp cache and dns cache, nogo.

I wonder if, in moving the VM, the network card type has changed from direct to NAT or something bizarre like that?

Maybe manually delete DNS entries for that IP address from domain DNS server and then clear cache and reload any secondaries.

As another thought, are there DHCP reservations for the VM and re-creation has changed the MAC address?

All fixed. When I looked in DNS after moving the vm the timestamp in dns showed the time when I turned it back on so I didn't think it would be an issue. The sonicwall disagreed. After deleting the entry in dns and letting it recreate, all is well. Thanks for the help!
